Crystallization Engineering in Aza-Steroid: Application in the Development of Finasteride
Novel and robust crystallization approach based on solid solution
formation was developed for the purification of finasteride. This
is an unprecedented approach that describes the use of pure finasteride <b>1</b> to purify different lots of finasteride <b>1</b> (impure)
contaminated with dihydrofinasteride <b>2</b>
Practical, Asymmetric Route to Sitagliptin and Derivatives: Development and Origin of Diastereoselectivity
The development of a practical and
scalable process for the asymmetric synthesis of sitagliptin is reported.
Density functional theory calculations reveal that two noncovalent
interactions are responsible for the high diastereoselection. The
first is an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the enamide NH and
the boryl mesylate S顥籓, consistent with MsOH being crucial
for high selectivity. The second is a novel C鈥揌路路路F
interaction between the aryl C5-fluoride and the methyl of the mesylate
ligand
